Evanescence
On the songs: what you want
[Amy Lee]:
"'What You Want' was first conceived in New York with Tim, Terry and I. Just sitting in the living room jamming. We turned my house into two different studios. I had a studio on the top and in the living room we pushed all the chairs out of the way and made a station down there where I can play the real piano. It feels good people to just play the real piano sometimes. We were just writing, playing off with each other. And that groove just started happening, that verse between Tim and Terry. And I was like, 'oh cool.' And I kind of took to the next part, I was playing what now is the chorus. All of the sudden they got all excited and I was like, 'really? That's the chorus? I don't know, we didn't even try that hard.' 'No, that was really good.' Yeah, I love that song. It's catchy and fun. I loved it, it's gonna be the first single. It's different for us. I feel like it's a good representation of Evanescence now. It still sounds like that band, it's heavy. But at the time it's not trying to be heavy. It's fun, the vocals are fun. I'm excited about it."
